What a magnificent garment!  Bright glossy Meisen silk with a pattern of scrolled vines with slightly heart-shaped leaves in turquoise, white and light yellow.  The liner is brilliant red with open blooms, shitsuke intact and mismatched himo; one is bright pink while the other is cream with a woven diagonal pattern of primary colors like confetti!  Excellent condition, here are your specs:

H46 Antique Kimono Haori Wine With Green, Turquoise, Etc.

The fabulous pattern crossing the seams is mindful of the Houmongi Kimono.  Enormous chrysanthemums attached to scrolled vines create a colorful outer balance while the liner of book frames with flowers give you a quieter space inside.  Heavy himo in a pattern of pink egg shapes on a white ground held by turquoise loops complete this excellent condition haori with the shitsuke still intact.  Here are your specs:

H44 Antique Kimono Haori Lilac With Color Shibori.

Shitsuke are still intact on this excellent condition haori in a nice soft silk. White shibori outlines leaves and flowers, the latter being colored in turquoise and wine.  Some solid white blooms are couched in silver thread and the liner is glossy cream and celery silk.  Here are your specs:

H43 Antique Kimono Haori, Brick & Cream.

Color is best shown in the bottom two pictures and as you can see there is still shitsuke intact on this one.  I love these haoris with the bigger, splashier patterns and this one certainly qualifies.  Here are your specs:

H39 Antique Kimono Haori, Pink Shibori w/Himo.

This garment is heavier than it looks; the silk is amazing!  There is a tiny dot pattern woven in, much like the Edo Komon pattern and above that pattern is the lovely white shibori pattern of flowers and leaves carefully rendered.  The liner is stylized representations of pine needles and the himo still have their tassel covers!  Awesome haori; the specifics:

Length: 30"
Wrist to wrist: 49"

Body width 23"

HOLD H37 Antique Kimono Haori, Bright Wine Red, Lovely Mums.

Beautiful color is pretty well represented by the picture bottom right.  Some of the mums are completely embroidered while some of them are not entirely filled in.  The 'grass' pattern that backs them up sweeps beautifully and completely across the joining of body and sleeve, both front and back.  White and pink liner with white and pink himo complete this excellent condition haori.  It measures wrist to wrist 50", body width 24", sleeve drop 19 1/2", length 30 1/2".  It is $75.00. 

H36 Antique Kimono Haori, Cream White, Graduated Colors.

This one is SO pretty in person!  It is not snow white, but neither is it as dark as it appears in the full-body shots; I would call the color eggshell.  It's very soft and has clouds of color in pink,, peach and light green that act as anchors for the leaves in gold, green, red and pink.  Sweet pink and white himo and white bamboo leaf liner inside completes the package.  Excellent condition, it measures wrist to wrist 50", body width 24 1/2", sleeve drop 18 1/2", length 30 1/2".  It is $75.00.    

H31 Antique Kimono Haori Bright Pink, Himo, Maple Leaves.

This one is so much prettier in person; the most accurate picture of color is the picture lower left showing the multicolor leaves.  Shitsuke are still present, shown in the picture lower right, which indicates a recent cleaning or that the garment is unused.  The liner is actually pink and white with a pattern of sensu fans and the himo are graduated shades of pink.  Wonderful condition, it measures wrist to wrist 50", body width 24", sleeve drop 20 3/4", length 28 1/4".  It is $75.00.  

H27 Antique Kimono Haori Purple Shibori, Fabulous!

What a knockout this is!  Beautiful rich purple is the perfect color for the bold shibori work on this one, and the deep pink woven silk liner is the perfect accent!  Nubby silk, it is soft to the touch and very fluid.  The garment is in excellent condition and measures wrist to wrist 48 1/2", body width 23", sleeve drop 18 1/4" and length 37 3/4".  It is $95.00.

H26 Antique Kimono Haori, Mint Green With Himo.

This one has a very smooth touch and is a bid heavier.  The choice of blue and green used for the blurred edges of the pattern could not be more perfect, nor could the brilliant leaf green silk himo!  There is a small area of overdye shown in the picture top right, which does nothing to detract from the beauty of this garment.  It is in excellent condition and measures wrist to wrist 48", body width 23", sleeve drop 18 1/2" and length 28".  It is $65.00.       

H11 Vintage Haori, Orange/Red & Yellow.

What a difficult color to describe!  It is not precisely red, but it is not orange either, nor is it terra cotta or pink like some of the pictures imply.  It is a wonderful piece, with a dyed pattern of 'bows' that are made to look as though they are bamboo.  As you can see in the bottom two pictures, there are a couple of small areas of dye transfer and a smudge, neither of which is apparent without specifically looking for it.  Also note the picture third down on the left, where it shows a couple of minor pinholes in the liner.  The liner is exceptional as well, in bright golden yellow silk with a large shibori pattern.  A close up shot shows the hand sewing clearly.  It has braided silk himo to compliment the shell and liner, too.  Very cool piece, it is $75.00.
